Why is it only mac which has survived with a minimal footprint of firmware? grr...

Mac's firmware is butt-ugly. SmartFirmware is not smart but it runs rings around Apple implementation in terms of user friendliness

The drivers to use pc pcmia nics with A1200 costs €35. Most of this cost is probably software. Send a mail to AmigaKit or the programmer if you feel that they should have provided the software for free.

Wifi drivers are free. You can download them from Aminet. I used them succesfully with my A1200 and A600.

Crumb, when I boot my Mac mini, all I see is a gray screen with an apple. It's there until the OS takes over. Beutifull. When I boot my PC it shows an ASUS logo, spews out loads of text, and then Win7 takes over. Butt ugly.

well, I think you have never used Apple Firmware at all. Press Left_Windows+f+o+Right_Alt when you press the ON button and try to do something with your "beautiful" firmware (like browsing through the hard disk listing directories, partitions and checking which scripts does it load on boot) :-)

It'd be cool if MorphOS ran on this thing, it kinda reminds me of an Efika. But MorphOS runs on 1500Mhz hardware now, so 250Mhz seems kinda slow. :|


yeah, a friend of mine got a second hand eMac G4/1.25Ghz+USB2+Radeon9200 for 50Euros a pair of days ago and he plans to run MorphOS 2.5 on it. Limited machines running at 250Mhz don't make much sense right now IMHO.
